The Action of Air on Ground.

The atmosphere renders the soil more
fertile in two ways. First, it fines it,
thus making it more lively and readily
soluble, hence making it more of the
plant food available to the crop.
Second, it breaks up the chemical com
pounds in the soil. setting their ele-
ments free, and thus making them
available to the plant, which they were
not before. To accomplish this work
the air must come in direct contact
with the soil, and the work is greater
when the surface exposed is moist and
fresh. Hence blowing, which exposes
a greater surface to the air, and also a
moist, fresh one, increases the work,
and the earlier blowing is done, the
longer the air has to work upon this
great Irface, and the more it will in
crease the real fertility of the soil.

FORESTRY.
HfnIIfinH TrPpS.

Spring is the best time to plant trees,
and the land should be plowed in the fall.
In the spring harrow the ground and
dress it as well as you you would for a
good crop of corn. The last of April or
the first of May trees are delivered. They
should be heeled in at once on arrival, if
not able to put them out Immediately.
The distance that trees may stand from
one another is twenty-five or thirty three
feet, and some plant them forty feet.
The holes to admit the trees should be
dug large enough so as not to cramp the
roots, and deep enough Sc that two or
three inches of fine surface dirt may be
put into the bottom of the hole. The sur
face dirt is better as it is richer. The
limbs of the tree before it is set out should
be cut back half of the previous seasons
growth, and the tree trimmed up to the
point at which you want it TO branch. The
trunk of a tree never grows any in length.
All its growth in length is in new branches
and at the end of the old branches. All
branches that tend to interfere with others
ought to be removed. If buds start on the
trunk or the places where they promise to
interfere with branches, break them off.
1t is always we'll to have two men in set
ting trees. One to take the tree and cut
off with a sharp knife all broken roots, aud
to hold it upright i'll the hole while the
other Sits the dirt about the roots, being
careful that all roots are in their natural
order and not cramped, and fills up the
dirt occasionally. After the tree is set and
the dirt trodden firmly about it, it should
stand the same depth it stood when in the
nursury.
After an orchard is planted if you want
it to be n success and thrive it must be
plowed and dressed each year. You may
plant it to potatoes and beans, but not to
corn and grain. Frequently look at the
trunk of the trees to see if there be any
borers, which, if found, remove at once
with a wire or knife.
If these suggestions are followed good
orchard will be the result.-Ed1Cin e.. TIT

A Dying Mother.
From the Boston Courier


A touching little incident comes to
us of a young mother who was hope
iessly i'll, but quite unconscious Of her
condition.
One afternoon her physicians held a
consultation, and afterward announ-
ced the fact that she had but
a short time to live to the
husband and the sister of the pa
tient. The four exchanged opinions
as to the wisdom of telling her, and
was quite uDmindful of little Edith,
the only child of the dying woman, 5
years old, who was busily playing
with her dolls, apparently unconscious
of what was going on about her. But
in few minutes, the little Edith left
her toys, walked slowly upstairs and
went directly to her mothers room.
With the aid of q chair she placed her
self on the bed at her mothers side,
when she kissed the wan cheek and
asked in low, tender tones: mamma,
are you 'faid to die7" The mother WAS
startled by the question, and hesitat-
ingly asked: "Who told you?-doy
think" "No matter, d ar mamma;
you needn't be 'faid at all. Hold my
hand tight, like this; shut YOU eyes
close and | viii stay by you, and when
you wake up again you will be where
it Is all light" The eyes were closed a.
directed, the two hands tightly clasped
for r. few moments, and when the
members of the family re-en cred the
room the child looked no aud said:

was not 'faid at ali"

THE publishers of the WEEKLY VISION
SIN in making their annual announcement
to the public, do so with confident pride
and satisfaction. The WISCONSIN is in the
fifty-frst year of its existence, and forty
first year under its present management.
The growth of the WISCONSIN has been
steady and uninterrupted. 1t has far ex-
ceeded the growth of population in the
state from which it derives its support and
name The circulation of the WISCONSIN Is
greater in the state than that of any other
single journal.
1t has been the aim of the publishers to
make the WISCONSIN paper worthy of our
great commonwealth 1t has never been
their practice to say much or promise what
shall be done in the future, but they refer
their readers to what has been done in the
past. contenting themselves with the assur-
ance that they propose to continue their eff
forts 70 produce a great family journal.
The WEEKLY WISCONSIN has by far the
largest and ab.est corps of original writers
in the state or in the Northwest nearly the
whole contents from week % week beng
original matter prepared expressly for this
journal The publishers pay five times as
much money for contributions as is paid by
any other weekly paper in Wisconsin
Without the Tsk OF contradiction, II Is
claimed that the WEEKLY WISCONSIN Is the
best printed newspaper in the state Its
typography is always clear and legible and
NAV be read with pleasure by all eyes.
The different departments OF the paper
are conducted by editors peculiarly fitted
for such departments, and cover wide range
of subjects.
To the farm department was added last
year, and will be continued this year, YER
batim report of all tie best papers READ al
the Farmers Institutes. These papers alone
published in book would make an octave
volume which would cost twice the
subscription price of the paper.
The novels and short stories published
for the amusement and edification OF Its
readers, if printed in ordinary book style
would in a year make more than ten VOL

HOUSEKEEPING.
The Family Medicine Chest


In scattered country neighborhoed,
says the Karat Neic- Yorker, where it is
impossible to summon the doctor very
quickly, the medicine chest is an absolute
necessity. 1t should be well arranged, so
that everything may be found without loss
of time. And it must most emphatically
be out of the reach of children.
Every house mother should learn enough
of physiology and disease to prescribe SIM
pie remedies for ailments and accidents,
though this should never prevent her from
sending for a regular physician when she
has reason to suspect serious illness.
Another point to be avoided is indis-
criminate dosing. One is very apt to fall
into this error if one is the possessor of a
cute little homeopathic medicine chest. 1t
is easy to order little sugar coated pellets
for all the ills that flesh is heir to, until 1t
becomes q regular habit. The less medi-
cine one takes the better, sugar-coated or
otherwise.
In the closet where medicines are kept
one should always have sponges, lint,
bandages, and plaster. AS soon as any
material gives out 1t should be promptly
replaced, or it may result in serio"s neon
venience. There are few poisons which
need to be kept in the family materia
medica, for many time honored remedies
of poisonous nature may be replaced
! with some drug equally useful and less
dangerous. Whenever poison Is kept 1t
should have the most efficacious antido:e
written or printed on the label. Some
druggists do this they all ought to-but
if the seller neglects this, the purchaser
should mark the bottle thus: Iodine
Poison: antidote, white of egg. In the
country, mother is most often called
upon to dress cuts, insect bites, ETC., and
in addition to this, she should famiiarize
herself with the proper treatment for sun
stroke and apparent drownings. 1t is a
pity every woman cannot Join the emer-
gency classes giving Instruction in first aid
to the injured, but the family physician
will generally be ready with information
about simple ailments, and will be the best
person 10 consult when stocking one
medlcine- chest.

Removing a Serious Obstruction Gently.

Dynamite and giant powder might answer adj
nirably to remove distractions from He'll Gate,
ia East River New York, but explosive meas
in medication attended with dis
astrous consequences For instance, the
bowels cannot be violently drenched with
safety, nor is thsre the slightest necessity fox
SO doing. On the contrary, it is most unwise.
None but the purblind adherents Of antiquated
theories in medicine advise or sanction such a
course To weaken the intestines-the effect
of drastic purgntion--is to compromise the
health Of the entire system. With Hostetters

WHAT absurd little things peop

WHAT absurd little things people
quarrel about What trivial matters
cause ill-feeling in families An opin-
ion about the temperature of the house,
or the style of curtain that ought to be
bought for windows; the definition of
a word, or its proper pronunciation, in
significant topics that are not worth a
quarrel when peace and goodwill are
of SO much Importance in the home. A
little Ill feeling is like a seed that may
grow into large tree that will shadow
the whole house. Many a man and
woman must look back with regret on
the hasty word or the cold reproach
which was the entering wedge that
split the household in two; and yet
how few make point of uttering the
soft word that turneth away wrath
Quarreling is one of the original sins.
The babies on the floor will fall out
with their toys, and one will push
down the block tower that the
other has built with great pans, and
MANN will be called TO settle GUAR
rel, and no truth can be got at, for
each is right in his own estimation, and
ca has been wronged by the other.
SO 1t is through life. A reasonable
quarrel about great matters may be
settled, and the parties made friends
again; but little tiffs about nothing
are such foolish, intang bic things that
reason can not overcome them.
l. is said that to accomplish duty
is to diffuse JOY; therefore, as every
nome of life holds duty, it depends
upon ourselves as to whether or not We
are surrounded with uuceasing Joy.
